Hello,
Is there any add-on similar to EtherCAT master only for slaves?
I am using 1 Mode Handler for each station in a configuration like in the picture.
I have conventioned that each EK1100 is assigned to each station. So I want to have independ EtherCAT diagnosis for each station and not having the errors from other stations.
Any solution for this?

The EtherCAT diagnosis is a feature of the EtherCAT master. Placing add-ons on different levels of the model tree wouldn't help. All the diagnostic information the add-on displays in the HMI comes from the master, and the master handles all slaves as a flat list, ignoring the bus hierarchy.
Apart from that, I am not sure if it makes sense to show only part of the bus errors. I would expect that errors from one part of the bus can affect the rest of the bus, i.e. all stations. (But I must admit I am not an EtherCAT expert.)
